Surprise! Monochrome stick-figure giggle ‘em up West Of Loathing has DLC now, known as Reckonin’ At Gun Manor. As the skeleton within the entrance backyard would possibly recommend, this outdated home has a thriller hidden inside, and it’s as much as you, hat-wearing puzzle-solving protagonist, to unravel it.
Alec handed out an RPS Recommended in his West Of Loathing review, saying: “It makes me really feel welcome, the game and I on the identical web page, having a beautiful time collectively on this foolish black and white world of stick determine cowboys and bandits and nightmare cattle and evil skeleton popes. The central message of WoL is ‘hey, let’s go over there and see what we discover!’
“It’s this ongoing bathe of mild invention, of concepts thrown like confetti, each handled as a motive to smile, not as something that should go anyplace. Every stock merchandise has a gag connected, nearly each NPC greets you companionably, and all the things you do has a payoff.”
The new DLC seems to supply up contemporary if comparable thought confetti, as a ghostly carriage reveals up in Dirtwater to take you to the splendidly straightforwardly named Gun Manor. There you’ll discover new monsters, gadgets, puzzles, and “scads of new goofs and gags.”
I needed to lookup what a scad is, and Google claims it’s one other phrase for a jack, just like the factor you employ to carry up your automotive. That appeared unlikely on this game’s horse-based world, so I turned to Merriam-Webster which supplies what’s presumably the intended definition: “a large number or quantity.” Excellent information for individuals who needed extra of the bottom game’s humour and allure. (They additionally supply another definition, “any of several carangid fishes,” which, once more, in all probability isn’t very useful in West Of Loathing’s desert setting, however nonetheless, the extra you realize!)
